Train des Pignes

Legend has it that this train was specially used to pick pine nuts before. It’s very interesting to go around the mountains. I saw a lot of towns that I really want to stop and live in. It’s really pleasant to live in the mountains and rivers. . .

The Pinego Train is an old steam train, and windows must be closed whenever a steam train passes through the tunnel. You can take the train to Pinego, a rather quiet French village with more medieval architecture on the hill and a drawbridge and a castle.

The Pinego train is from Nice, France, to the hinterland of the Alps. The whole trip is three and a half hours. There are Alpine mountains along the way, towering and stoney. After some villages and rivers, the Pinego train is not long, but the car is very beautiful. And the seats inside are also very comfortable. After the pine fruit train arrives at one of the stations, it will be transferred to the bus. Because the mountain train inside can't be opened, it will be replaced by a car. The ticket for the small train is more than 20 euros, which is worth taking.

The first trip to the Pinego Train dates back to 1891, more than 100 years later, when the steam locomotive was still running, and the rudimentary country station was still the same. The pinecone train runs directly from Nice to Digneleban (Digne-les-Bains) in the hinterland of Upper Provence, with a total length of 151 km and speeds below 70 km/h. The trains cross or cross more than 50 tunnels, bridges and viaducts. Stop in a dozen small towns along the way, you can see the mountains and rivers, and you can choose to visit places such as the medieval castles of Entrevaux. You can also see large areas of lavender in Digne-les-Bains in July and August.

Take the pine fruit train all the way north, along the Wa River to the surrounding two towns, along the way, through the canyon cave, overlook the snow-capped mountains, experience from the fog to the clear and sunny days, the best place to travel by train is to enjoy the scenery that is changing at any time outside the window.
